THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been a
victim of a very severe and agonizing
case of salt rheum, which affected my
hands to such an extent that they almost
became burden.
My hand became raw and horrifying,
compelling me to keep it covered all the
time.
I've spent hundreds of dollars for var
ious preparations, but instead of benefits
ing my condition, they all seemed to
stimulate and encourage the progress of
the miserable disease. until had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, 1.-THE darkest hour
is just before day." and am reJoiced to
know that positive cure has been found,
which is known as B. B. B.-Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief My
hand has been cured and resembles a
burnt surface after being healed over,
more than anything else 1t has also
cured my two children of loatheome
form of itch which has resisted all pre-
vious treatment. | refer to any business

Legislative Chit-Chat.

The House meets at O'Clock this morn
ing.
The bond matter comes up to-day.
Mobiles Motley and Bailey are going to
make all their speeches at the next SEES
sion, as they will have more time.
A legal member OF the House, referring
to Noble Fosters proposed resolution to
prohibit the lawyers in the Legislature
speaking, said Noble Foster reminded him
OF the belle about whom it is written:
''she winks and giggles and shippers,
And shippers and giggles and winks,
And though she says but little,
It's good deal more than she thinks"
Noble Smith wears No. IA boots With
the exception of Rep. kalaukoa's, they are
the largest on the floor of the House.
Rep. Kauhi's wit is relief to some of
the dry speeches that are made.
Some of the Representatives are wonder
ing whether they will get any pay this
session. No, gentlemen; economy is the
watchword. Better take up a collection
among your constituents.
The Attorney General has the longest
moustache, and Rep. Kinney the shortest.

as s'pose all married folks do About three
months ago we had quite a little quarrel
and talked pretty loud at each other,
both bein' excited. While we were at it
heard slight noise at our door, turned and
looked and there came a card sliding in
under the door, and on it was printed the
name and address of a lawyer who lives in
the building, and on it he had penciled:
divorces promptly attended to-" He was
soliciting our trade, you see, but he'll never
get it When we saw that my wife and
made up and swore we would never quarrel
again. So even a sneaking little lawyer is

Gordon's Fatal Halfpenny.
Buffalo Express.l


How did GorIon happen to go to Khar-
toum2 The first proposal to that effect ap-
peared in the Pail Mall Gazette, and it has
been supposed that the idea originated with
that paper; but the New York Evening Post
says it has good grounds for believing that
it originated in an entirely different manner
that Gordon telegraphed the editor of the
Gazette suggesting himself as the to
solve the Egyptian problem and asking
whether the editor would support him. An
affirmative ans was sent, the editor 'rep-
resented" the paper in an interview at South
ampton, and the two or three articles which
were supposed to be expressing the demand
of the people were written by Mr.. Stead in
Gordon's own study, and submitted to him
in manuscript before being sent to London
The Post says: owe wonder whether Gordon
sought divine guidance on that occasion by
his usual method of tossing halfpsnny. If
so, his fatalism betrayed him at the crisis of
his life

Minister Ashford thought that with re-
gard to this Office the responsibility in the
first place would rest with the conscience
of the president, and secondly that the
Cabinet should keep him up to his mark
and see that he attends to his duties. He
thought that president toproperly attend
to his duties would have no time for private
practice. He would object to the president
holding the Office of physician at Lunalilo
Home. But they ought to discuss the
office and not the man. AS long as he was
a member OF the Cabinet he would see that
the President and all other members of the
Board of Health would properly attend to
their duties. No other Government official
except the Auditor-General, is restricted
from private practice.
The amendment by Rep. Kinney was
then put and carried by vote of 10 to 18.
The item passed as amended.
Section was passed as follows:
Section 2. The appropriations hereby
made shall be subject to Sections 2, 3. 4, 5
and of the aforementioned Act.
The title was read and passed.
Minister Ashford moved the committee
rise and recommend to the House that the
bill pass to engrossment with certain
amendments. Agreed to.
On the House resuming the chairman
reported, and the report was adopted.
Noble Smith moved that the bill to APP
propriate 0,000for the necessary expenses
of the extra session of 1887 be acted upon
by the House
The motion carried and the bill was read
a third time and passed.
Minister Ashford moved that the House
when it adjourn to-day, adjourn to O'Clock
Monday morning. This was to enable
them to have time to consider the bond
matter as the steamer for the Coast left on
Tuesday. Agreed to.
AT 1905 the House adjourned to 9o'clock
Monday morning.

Tea-Growing in the Caucasus.
IEornicr1a I atfar

Owing to the growing depression in the
wheat crop the Russian government has
decided to start the coming summer a tea
plantation on large scale at Soukum, Kali,
in the Caucasus region, and to import coolies
from China to work it Experiments in q
small way have proved that tea can be
grown in the Caucasus, but SO far it has cost
almost as much per pound as that grown by
the United States government in South
Carolina, which was a matter of 81. 80 a
pound or thereabouts. Russians are great
tea-drinkers, importing annually ", 100000
pounds, one-half of which is brought over
land across Siberia and the remainder to
Odessa and Cronstadt by sea.

Movement of the Pleiades.

Forty five years of observation have
shown that of the fifty-three stars cata-
logued by Bessel in the Pleiades nearly
AL have drift in space opposite 10 our
own This drift is doubtless only appar-
ent, being due TO the motion of the solar
system. Six of the stars do not partake
of this backward movement on account
of their extreme reInoteness, while two
appear to move more rapidly than the
Others on account of tn Air nearness 10 us
The former are so distant that the path
moderately estimated at 2l,0eo 100000
miles in length, traversed by the sun
during the forty-tive years since Bessefs
measurement, becomes too small to be
detected from them.
